So I've been looking at boobie photos to show what I like and don't like at my consultations, and man oh man, I'm come across some really round, fake looking one and I'm curious why do they look so different then the natural beautiful implants that I've been seeing. I DO NOT want my augmentation to turn out anything like this and these almost scare me away. How do they turn out like this???? BTW!!!--->The last photo I included is how I would assume breast augs look like now a days??

Answer: Breast augmentation It all depends on what your starting point is in terms of breast tissue, skin tone, over chest size shape, appearance and you interest in what you want to look like.In breast augmentation I have chosen to spend time reviewing photographs with patients to fully understand their expectation of size and shape. Many times this simply raises more questions. I will make measurements and use the implant guides to allow the patient to understand exactly the sizes that are reasonable for their body type and measurements. Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and member of the Aesthetic Society using the Smart Beauty Guide.

Answer: Don't want to look fake after breast augmentation This issue comes up all the time during consultations. Some patients want the most natural look possible, where nobody can tell that surgery was done. On the other hand I have many patients who specifically tell me that they like the augmented look with large, round breasts that are very full in the upper pole. This is why our first job during your consult is to figure out what you want. A plan that would work for you may not make your friend very happy so we have to customize your surgery to fit your specific goals.A few other things to consider. Everyone's anatomy is different. Patients who start with a B or C cup breast can easily get a very natural result because they have a good amount of breast tissue to cover the implant. On the other hand, they could decide to go very large and get a more "done" look. Patients who are very thin with little or no breast tissue to start with tend to have a much harder time achieving a natural look. When your breast is 90% implant it's going to look like a round implant. What you can do in these cases is to use the new anatomically shaped implants. These have a more natural, tear-drop shape that best resembles a natural breast contour. The size of the implants can also be a factor. Patients who favor larger, round implants will get large, round breasts. Many patients with this type of result are really happy with it. With smaller implants these can easily be converted to more natural appearing breasts. In fact, a large part of my practice is downsizing patients to implants that better fit their bodies.One suggestion is for you to find a surgeon with a Vectra 3-D imaging system. This allows us to take a 3-d photo of your breasts, then use computer software to show you what you would look like with any of the implants available on the market. This can give you great insight as to what size and style implant will give you the look you want. Good luck.Dr J
